SUN Pitches for leadership in war against .NET Parece que han olvidade avisarle a SUN que el juego es solo entre dos: IBM vs MS [The Register]:

De la nota (las palabras en itálicas son cortesia mia, las comillas son sarcasmo cortesia de TheRegister):

IBM, Tolliver said, lacks Sun's innovative ideas and "simply proposes alternatives to the things we do on a tactical basis" Tolliver said Sun had competed "extraordinarily" well on the basis of Java and growth.

Una vista el "market share" de los "Application Servers" nos indica que el problema es que el único que no ha hecho negocio con Java es SUN ...

The Case Against Professionalism: How We Have Managed Industry almost to Death. En su columna semanal, Robert Cringley aborda el tema del impacto de las prácticas de administración en las empresas de la nueva economia [I, Cringley]:

"Here is a scene that happens at some point in almost every young company. The founder/CEO/technical visionary meets with his board and finds him or herself out of a job. How could this happen? Well, the company has grown to the point where the board feels that "professional management" is required, so they are bringing in a new management team. The new team is composed of old friends and classmates of the board, and the new team costs five to 10 times as much, but that's okay because the company is "hiring for growth."

Hasta a mi me suena conocida la historia ... ; )
